what lefty ideas do you agree/disagree with? @cig
Whether you consider these Left or just independent libertarian is up to you but generally:
For drug decriminalisation (more libertarian I guess, but also because I'm a capitalist, but this is a very Leftist agenda), gay marriage (if it was strictly a religious ceremony and not entangled with the law I'd be against it), aspects of secularism, transgender rights, pro-choice (though in my personal life I'm against abortion), non-interventionism in places like the middle east.
Against feminism, social constructivism, race/gender politics, communism, social justice, mass immigration, weak borders in general, multiculturalism, militant atheism, welfare state, big government and sadly it seems like pro-gun restrictions has become a Left-wing staple.
I used to consider things like freedom of speech, anti-authoritarianism and anti-censorship as fundamentally Left-wing but these days I'm not so sure, seems like all the advocates of these values are now Right-leaning.
See what I mean by caveats? Haha.
I disagree with more Left-wing things than I do agree, but I'm somewhat mind blanking on essential Left-wing ideas, if you had anything specific in mind feel free to ask.
